The improved niche hybrid hierarchy genetic algorithm is presented to overcome the premature convergence which happens in genetic algorithm constructing RBF network. The niche with poor fitness of every individual is eliminated to save system resource and raise operation speed. The simulation results demonstrate the better predicted performance on the Mackey-Glass chaotic time series than other algorithms.

There are problems with the tailpipe hook when the car is in durability test. In the paper, the exhaust system vibration analysis model is built first. It is found that the constraint force on the tailpipe hook which is cracked is bigger and the local stiffness is lower according to the frequency response analysis. After the structure optimization, the stiffness of the tailpipe hook is strengthened. Both the comparative analysis and idling test show that the optimized hook could explicitly reduce the vibration of the exhaust system which transfers to the car floor and improve the fatigue life of the exhaust system. The optimization method could be used for the similar fatigue problems.

The structure and the principle of the electronic throttle control system (ETCS) is elaborated. The electronic throttle (ET) control model is built based on Matlab/Simulink, and the hardware-in-loop simulation on the ET model is processed. The result shows that the hardware-in-loop electronic throttle system have significant means on the automotive electronic teaching and design.
